Different Worlds, Same Hearts
By: Trunks lil sis
Well, this is very interesting. I was originally going to wait to reveal Duo's past but I'm been chewed out to move this story along before I lose interest like my Yu-Gi-Oh * sweat drop * It will be updated . . . eventually.
So yes! Duo's lineage is revealed and just in time I might add, read and find out what I mean. Also there is Heero abuse in this chapter, you'll find out why Duo smacks the hell out of Heero. . . Oops, I've said too much already.
Warnings: Yaoi - - 3x4x3 FINALLY!!! 5xS, 6x9 and soon to come 1x2 (They do finally meet in this chapter)
And yes, I have gotten over the fight with my beta. We just decided to smack each other in the head, and I've even got her reading some of my stuff she swore didn't exist!
Chapter Seven
"Quatre, please stay in bed!" A healer begged, as Quatre began to fasten his armor in the right places. "You are barely healed! Our army will win this battle, with or without you on the field!" Quatre ignored the healer with a hard face until the persistent begging became too much.
"Get out, now!" At Quatre's harsh words the healer slowly back out of the room while Trowa watched silently from the other side of the room. "You're not going to try and stop me from going, are you?" Quatre asked a bit harsher then he intended.
Trowa crossed the room to stand in front of the prince. Placing his hands on Quatre's small shoulders he leaned down to kiss the shorter. "I will not tell you what to do, I do not control you, though I do love you." A sad look crossed his features. "I will not stop you from going, but I will be beside you on the battle field."
A shocked expression filled Quatre's face, forcing the blond to cry out in disapproval. "You have no ties to this kingdom, no reason to fight for this kingdom, and I won't have you lose your life. I forbid you from fighting." Trowa chuckled lightly at the flustered prince.
"Quatre, you are my ties to this kingdom." Pouring all his love out to Quatre he made his final confession. "I love you more then my own life. If you love your kingdom then I will gladly fight for it, and for you." Salty tears fell from his eyes as he kissed Quatre again. "I would gladly die for you, and as I cannot stop you, you cannot stop me."
Trowa made his final decision and clasped his hands with Quatre's. "I can only hope you place trust in me enough to allow me to stand next to you and protect you. I would give my last breath for you, and if this is my fate, then so be it." For the moment, the book was forgotten and all Trowa could think of was the blond Angel in front of him.
"Trowa, I would gladly have you next to me, but neither of us will die. And when this battle is over we will discuss our future?" Quatre asked with a hopeful voice. After receiving a joyful nod from Trowa his eyes sparkled. "I love you, too." Quatre strained on his tiptoes to reach the taller boy's lips, and when they met, sparks erupted and Quatre felt a surge of energy. Neither boy pulled apart until a voice erupted from the back of the room.
"Aww, Quatre, I leave for a few days and you're on the first guy you see?" Quatre's aquamarine eyes drifted to the door, and when he caught sight of the familiar figure, he pulled away from Trowa instantly and threw himself at the figure.
Duo smiled genuinely at his prince and tousled the boy's hair. "Duo! I'm so happy you're okay. I was so worried when I heard your group was attacked." Duo continued to smile and embrace his friend while he looked over at Trowa.
Duo looked the guy up and down before chuckling to himself. "You had better take good care of my little Quatre." Trowa nodded solemnly realizing that this was the boy's way of giving up his best friend to love. "I mean it, too." Duo pulled back from Quatre to notice the gauze wrapped around Quatre's shoulder. "Something you want to tell me about?" Duo questioned while Trowa stepped up next to Quatre and wrapped his arm around the blond.
"I'm fine, Duo, and I keep telling everyone, but no one will believe me. I'm really okay." Quatre smiled while Duo gave him a skeptical frown.
"Well, it doesn't matter, because I'll be leading the army. Mind telling me what I'm fighting against? As I rode into the east entrance, all I could see were these dark figures moving in from the south. Not enough to take the castle but enough to give us a good fight." Duo unsheathed his sword and gave it a few good swings. "Not that I'm not ready for a good fight."
Quatre shifted on his feet. "The most our scouts can say, the ones that survived I mean, is that they are dark men that appeared out of no where, bent on destroying anything in their way. And I'm backing you up." Duo shook his head but Quatre gave him a challenging look until Duo finally gave in.
"All right, but I lead the main group. The only way you're getting in the fight is if our men are in trouble and we need the first reinforcements." At this Duo would not budge.
"Cathy is in her room, but Heero insists that he go into battle with us." Trowa spoke up towards Quatre. "I tried to talk him out of it, but Heero always has been stubborn." Quatre nodded miserably.
"I'm sorry, Trowa, I fear I'm bringing innocents into this battle." Trowa shrugged it off and pressed a kiss to Quatre's cheek.
"I'm going to get Heero now, but I'll be back. Okay?" Quatre nodded happily as Trowa left the room.
"You really love him?" Duo asked with a saddened expression.
"More then anything else."
"Congratulations then." A miserable tone was detected in his voice. Quatre turned to his best friend with a worried look.
"What's wrong? I know the basic details of what happened, but tell me what troubles you." Quatre could feel the pain radiating off his closest friend and dread struck him. "Is it Solo?"
A nod was the only answer as amethyst eyes turned to Quatre's and he felt his soul explode in throbbing anguish. "Solo didn't make it." As the barriers broke in his mind Duo threw himself into Quatre's arms. "I tried to save him so hard. I tried to protect him." He murmured into Quatre's shirt. "It killed him, it killed him right in front of my eyes. My mother is going to declare war and she wants me to return. With my father gone and Solo gone it's my responsibility she says, but I can't. I'm turning my back on my people, and I'll die for that."
"Oh gods, Duo." Quatre rubbed Duo's back and tried to comfort him the best he could. "It is not your fault Solo is gone. He will remain in our hearts forever and your mother will understand. She will come to accept your decision and you will not die!" Quatre spoke with his strongest voice and allowed Duo to pull himself back together.
"Sorry for falling apart." Duo offered softly. "Remember what I said, you're only to join the battle if Rasid signals that they're over taking us. If you do, promise me you'll stay next to Trowa, he's a good person and I know he'll protect you." Duo left without looking Quatre in the eyes.
Duo stalked down the hallway to his horse in the stable and as he turned the corner he came face to face with WuFei. "Going into battle?" Duo joked as WuFei rolled his eyes.
"As a matter of fact, Maxwell, I was." WuFei smiled at Duo and slipped his hands into white gloves. "Good to have you back." He said hurriedly as he turned opposite to Duo and continued on his way.
Duo shook his head lightly at WuFei, a smile gracing his features. "Some day I'll figure that guy out." Duo stated as he turned back to objective. Get to the horse and save the castle.
Duo plunged his sword deep into the nine-foot tall dark creature and danced out of the way of the incoming swipe at his head. His horse had long since been lost as the creature fell dead and he turned to the next one.
The battle had started well enough, Duo had rallied his men and they had held the dark figures off easily, at first. It was a few minutes into the battle when Duo realized that these creatures were adapting to every move made. It was a serious problem when his moves could only be used once. It puzzled Duo as to how one creature could adapt and the rest follow without being told.
Jumping out of the way of a fellow soldier, he swiped at another dark creature and cursed them to death. He knew it would have been easier to kill them if they were using weapons, but it seemed that they, themselves, were the weapons. They had long claws that he had made the mistake of touching with his arms, and it ached with white pain already.
"Maxwell!" He heard WuFei's cry at the last possible second before ducking and whipping around to slice the creatures head off.
"Thanks!" He screamed back as he again made his way through the creatures.
"What the hell are they?" Heero asked from his horse. He and the first back up group sat a ways back from the fight, waiting for their cue.
"We don't really know." Answered Quatre as he kept his eyes on Duo. He cheered every time Duo killed a creature but winced physically as he saw Duo's arm slashed. Apparently the boy had moved just a bit too slow, but he seemed to recover fast enough.
"When are we going down there?" Trowa asked nervously. The battle had begun in their favor but it seemed that these creatures had never ending stamina and the men were falling fast.
Out of mass chaos came a lone rider, her horse galloping fast. She reached the prince in a matter of moments and though she was tired she did not stop to allow the adrenaline to stop rushing in her system.
"Duo commands that the second group be sent in without the prince." Quatre looked out raged. "He wants the second group out as fast as possible." She turned to ride back to the battle leaving the first group speechless.
"What shall we do?" A soldier asked Quatre who was rolling the message over in his head. It was unusual for Duo not to trust Quatre, even in a battle.
"Go get the seconds at once!" Quatre rushed and turned his eyes back to the battlefield. There were barely twenty men left compared to the hundred dark creatures that were surrounding them. What scared Quatre even more was that the creatures seamed to be directing their attacks on Duo.
"This is so not good." Duo felt his back press against WuFei's as they were completely cut off from the very few men left.
"Nice observation Maxwell." The battle seemed to come to a halt, as Duo and the other men remained silent, waiting for the Dark creatures to make the first move.
At first Duo thought that the arrow was intended for his head until he saw the body of a creature drop. "What the hell?" WuFei spoke as hundreds of arrows came flying out of nowhere hitting the creatures with perfect aim.
"Reinforcements." Duo called out happily as their chances to win were brought back up to possible. Dozens of elves rushed to their aid and within moments they had won. A very happy Duo dragged WuFei over to an elf, a very large smile upon his face.
"But our troops didn't make it in time." WuFei stuttered.
"Maybe not yours, but mine did." Duo spoke proudly as the blond elf bowed to him. "My mother sent you didn't she?" Duo asked with an amused voice as WuFei realized what Duo was talking about.
"Prince Duo, if your mother had not sent us we would have come anyway." Duo's smile grew wider as he looked to WuFei.
"WuFei, I'd like you to meet Ariawn. He's the general of the group that just came in and saved our butts." WuFei bowed lightly to the elf in respect for the noble creature before raising an eyebrow.
"Cutting it a bit close weren't you?" From that comment Duo broke into a heavy laugh. Suddenly the whole scene and what had happened seemed so hilarious. The whole situation from beginning to end caused him to laugh. And it was that Duo was still laughing when Quatre and the rest of the first group finally made it down.
As Quatre descended off his horse and walked over to the three the elf bowed and Quatre clasped the man's hand. "I owe you much thanks but let us go back to the castle where we can speak and mourn properly.
The elf seemed a bit surprised that Quatre had noticed that two elves had fallen and was willing to mourn. Quatre also saw to it that each of the men that had been slain were brought back to the castle and prepared for a proper burial. All eighty of them.
Trowa leaned casually against the wall in a conference room while Heero and a boy named WuFei stood next to him. Across the room he watched as Quatre, Duo and the elf spoke quietly.
Fifteen minutes later the elf bowed to both Quatre and Duo before excusing himself. Quatre and Duo walked over to the three just seconds after that with identical smiles.
"May I ask what is so funny your highness?" WuFei questioned while crossing his arms.
"It's a strong alliance finally. The queen has sent her consent and we have the full support of the elves. My father has been sending troops for over two months to patrol the elves' homelands and keep them safe. Finally the elves have placed trust in us."
"Why?" Heero questioned with a harsh look. "Elves are nothing but back stabbing traitors. It was a foolish decision. Cowards! That's all they are." Heero slid backwards as a fist connected with his face sending his sprawling to the floor.
As he pressed a hand to his bleeding nose and his eyes rose to see Duo starring angrily at him. "Oh, I'm sorry, was that your face?" Duo turned on his heals and stalked away with an angry expression.
"What the hell was that about?"
Quatre shook his head disappointedly at Heero. "That was a very bad insult." Quatre said with a strange voice that caught Trowa's attention. "Duo is half elf. And his mother is the Queen of the Silveran elves making Duo the heir to the thrown. That's the only reason those elves showed up today and saved some of my men. I am greatly in their debt and I suggest you either stay away from Duo or apologize." Quatre shook his head one final time before leaving the group and going after his friend.
"That was low." WuFei stood and turned back to the two men. "Duo may not be my favorite person but he is one of my closest friend and I wouldn't dream of saying something like that. " WuFei rushed after the first two leaving them leaving the two in silence.
"Why did you have to go and do that." Trowa asked quietly.
Heero raised an eyebrow at his friend. "You know very well of the feud between the elves and druids. I can never trust a elf, not ever again." Heero pushed off the wall and walked away from Trowa.
Trowa sighed heavily. And closed his eyes. Nothing seemed to be going right. And what frightened him more was that he was beginning to believe that book he had read more and more. That book had come right out and said Prince Duo would join the forces of the Elves to those of mortals. He still couldn't shake the feeling that someone was playing this out purposely.
But, his mind argued back. Just because the book was right about one thing didn't mean anything. The book had also said that Prince Duo and Heero would be soul bound but judging by the events that had just taken place the book was wrong. There was no way that those two would ever even stand next to each other.
"Where were you?" WuFei asked as Sally opened the door and invited him in.
"I was in the healers wing, I heard that the battle was raging so I rushed to get everything ready." She lied perfectly.
"No, I meant the two days before the battle, you seemingly vanished from the castle and no one had seen you during that time." Sally sighed heavily. She knew it was time; she couldn't hide it any longer. Everyone else was going to find out the next day but she owed it to WuFei to tell him now.
"I've got to tell you something WuFei." She motioned for him to sit in an empty chair as she began to pace the floor looking for a way to start. After a long silence she looked WuFei in the eyes and made her statement.
"I've wanted to tell you this from the beginning, WuFei. I-I'm not who you think I am, I'm not what you think I am."
"What do you mean?" WuFei questioned. Was there something wrong with her? Was she dying and didn't want to tell him. Where had she been? "Is there something wrong with you?"
Sally shifted on her feet. "Sort of, it's nothing life threatening but maybe marriage threatening." She saw WuFei tense and knew there was no turning back now.
"I'm a goddess err . . . I was." Sally bit her lip as WuFei dropped to the floor in shock.
Well, this is very interesting. I was originally going to wait to reveal Duo's past but I'm been chewed out to move this story along before I lose interest like my Yu-Gi-Oh * sweat drop * It will be updated . . . eventually.
